God is expanding your secret place.
The secret place is the place where you meet with God. It begins inside your inner being. John 7:38 says "out of your heart (belly, inner being) will flow rivers of living water.” Your inner being is the hidden sanctuary of the heart where you commune with God.
The secret place is also the "room" you go into to pray and talk with God.
Matthew 6:6 says "Go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
To go into the secret place of prayer is to shut the door on external distractions and spend alone time with God. This can be in a room, your car, or out walking in nature. I like to make all these places my secret place.
The powerful thing about the secret place where God dwells is that you can increase the parameters of God's presence in the secret place.
Out of your belly will FLOW RIVERS. The secret place can expand from your heart, to your room, to your home, to a church sanctuary, to a stadium, to an entire city and region.
God wants to expand your secret place to touch entire rooms, buildings and cities.
The OPEN REWARD of meeting with God in secret is a PUBLIC REWARD. What is that reward? I believe part of it is the manifestation of God's presence and power through your life in PUBLIC where it touches other people. There is a public blessing for secret hidden devotion.
God is Inviting Us into His Presence in a New Way
Psalm 84:1-2 How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! My soul (my life, my inner self) longs for and greatly desires the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
God is raising up a people who will live and dwell in His manifest presence. They will be filled with peace and joy during a time of chaos, crises and stress.
I encourage you to go into your secret place and talk to God. God is going to visit you there. He’s going to fill your room with His glory. He’s going to refresh you and restore your mind and soul.
Doorkeepers of His Presence
Prophetically God is calling us to be doorkeepers in His house. Those who will dwell in His courts and carry His presence with us. You can be a spiritual doorkeeper…where you help usher others into God’s glory.
The most important thing is not material possessions. It’s His presence! True favor from God is being filled with His presence. His presence is what sets you apart and makes you different from everyone else.
Psalm 84:10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my God than to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.
God is Turning Your Valley into a Pool of Blessings
Many have been going through a valley…struggles and difficult times in this last season. You have been wearied from the battle. But God told me He is going to turn your valley into a pool filled with blessings! You are going to go from strength to strength! It’s your turn around time.
Psalm 84:4-8 Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence; They will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah. Blessed and greatly favored is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion. Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs; The early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; Each of them appears before God in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.
